has any ever blogged over Godthab before
So at 11,000 meters, on a Lufthansa A340, just over Godthab, I am posting this entry, using airplane wide WiFi. It is fantastic. Not terribly fast (about 300 kbs), and not terribly cheap ($30 for a 12 hour flight). But I guess this is the future: yet another space where IP runs.

300kbs is pretty good. I used the Connexion service on a Lufthansa flight a few weeks ago, and usually only got around 30kbs. But I downloaded quite a lot, so perhaps they have some kind of intelligent IP traffic control installed.
300kbps doesn't seem that shabby, and as someone who starts to lose their mind after a 5 hours flight, I'd happily shell out the 30 bucks for a 12 hour one... :)
Well, it has been done recently.
What IP laws are applicable there ;-)
Did anyone whose played with airplane wi-fi also try VoIP softphones?

Wow !!, that's even faster than my DSL connection over my home !!
I really would like that this blogs were longer, as the monthly wired column of yours...
I once wrote a blog entry on a plane over Godthab ... with pen and ink ... and then transcribed and posted it, backdated, when I got home. Does that count?
Sounds like you're using Connexion by Boeing. They're doing some pretty sweet stuff. They're putting internet on boats too.
I shant lie, I work for Boeing (but not for the Connexion part). But I'm still a big fan of internet on airplanes. I don't like being disconnected from the internet while on lunch... much less a 12 hour flight.
And, if its up to me, internet on airplanes will be awesome.
